<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2407940, member: 76181&quot;]I bought this from HJB last May. Shiny bright, but pretty good detail on the obverse. The reverse is messy, but this was the best of the lot. I also have an Antigonos Gonatas from the same hoard.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.ancients.info/gallery/data/3547/Antiochus_Hierax.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA.
